Ah, the perils of reading mail serially, and living 3 hours west!

I concur with JVBV's comments and explanations of the intent of the
HRRFC.  As James suggests, the requirement to "support" feature X (eg X
= Telnet Binary option) was meant in the sense in which a knowledgable
and experienced network programmer would take it.  Some may wish for
much more explicit and detailed definitions, but that would lead to the
sort of state tables you find in the Mil Specs.  I think it would be
(have been) a mistake to go to such a level of detail, since it is
difficult to get it all right, and it would be constraining when new
situations arise.

Still, I will make a note of this issue for the future.
